MVP
Titles, GM of the Season, 2-time
Champion, UNDEFEATED. The influx of
talent in the Women's Division is
greater than ever. With 2 rookie teams
this season, will Ladies Reign continue
their undefeated streak?

with them...but we're narrowing the

Skull Basherz and Spice Girls look like
they can beat the Reign."

O yes...I'm staying with my team. I
can't wait for Rivalry Week, I'm truly
going to show the League why I'm Mr.

I just picked up a 3rd scorer, He was
rumored to play on another team in the
League but we go way back like a
Cadillac with four flats and I'm ready
to be competitive and start giving L's."
Due to INACTIVE PLAYERS playing in a game on
Sunday, there will be a 1 day delay
on all our features. Game logs will be updated on Tuesday night,
Recaps will be
updated on Thursday night, and so forth...
Why do we do this? Well, when we have to put out
focus on a team that's not
following the rules, then it delays everything else.
The INACTIVE player played in a game at Brea Canyon during
the
Showtime vs. So Cal Ballers game.
Showtime actually had 2 players
from the 80 list play for their team.
Rules were finalized as of 4/19/08.
General Managers should be reading our rules and one of the
rules say....
II. K.
Players on the
"80 List" must pay
their balance
of $80 before they are
re-instated in the League.
A $80
fine will be assessed to teams that use players that are in the
"80"
list.
The 80 list is a list of players who played
games but failed to pay any
league fees.
PLAYERS
was updated on 4/18/08. This page included a
page on
which players are on the 80 list.
We
here at Superstar Basketball take this league
seriously. If you're on it, YOU
HAVE TO PAY BEFORE YOU PLAY. FOR A PLAYER TO LIE ABOUT THEIR
STATUS
NOT BEING ON THE 80 LIST IS DISRESPECTFUL TO YOUR TEAM, TO OTHER
PLAYERS, AND TO OUR LEAGUE. 5 Players have already been
re-instated. Is it
fair to them that they had to pay and you didn't?
Schedule Requests
My biggest pet peeve in the League is schedule
request.
I really, really, really, hate it when players (that aren't GMs)
ask for priority
in scheduling. Teams that make a full payment first are high on the
priority list.
The list includes: Assassins, Thrillers, Money Inc,
Flashback, Deep Penetration
Dagobah System, The Problem, High Five, The L Squad, Supreme...
When you sign up and you registered for game time, if you
indicated ANY, you
will get scheduled ANYtime of the day. If you signed up for
morning, we'll do our
best to get you scheduled in the morning. If you signed up in
the afternoon...
I'm sure you feel me on this. I get tens of e-mails regarding
schedule requests, I'll
get texts about it too, and sometimes when I'm at the gym
benching, I still have
a couple of people asking for game times. Work with our
schedule and we'll
work with you.
Thanks for understanding.
Season-opener
Because of the slow start (Winter 2008) due to
the lack of gyms available last
winter, we couldn't really have a break in between seasons. This
was the
first time we had to start a new season immediately after and I
would say we
made a fine transition from Season 7 to Season 8.
The weekend was smooth and everyone is thinking the same thing:
"Stack up our roster!"
If you're going to stack your teams in Gold, you're going to get
clowned on.
This is the recreation division. Gold is what it's supposed to be,
recreation.
Everyone knows the competition is in Diamond and Platinum. If you
really want
to prove your team is great, do it in Diamond or Platinum. There's
more prizes,
better prizes, and more recognition. You get to play for a free
season in Diamond,
you get trophies, personalized championship tees, and if you get to
the All Star
Game you get to play for the opportunity of keeping a Superstar All
Star jersey.
More on that later on.
CORRECT SPELLING
For the games where I logged teams in myself, I'm hoping those
names were
spelled right. For the other GMs who wrote their players in, some
looked really
really bad, like 3rd grader penmanship bad. E-mail me for
corrections at:
commish@superstarbasketball.org
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
Walnut Rec is set for this weekend. Some games will be played at
American
Sports Center. If your team isn't fully paid, expect to play some
games there.
As soon as I get word on our schedule at ASC, I'll post the
tentative schedule
on the website.

The Last Season
Season starts in 4 days. I'm excited, are you?
This is our first season where there's no break in between.
Season 7 ended with Championship / All Star Weekend.
A week later, we're at it again.
I've played 7 seasons straight. The Durty 30 is a year and a half
away.
Needless to say, the twilight of my basketball career is nearing.
Then the concept hit me.
What would you do
If this were your last season.
Would you play like an All Star?
Would you fly higher than ever?
Would you finally take your team to glory?
Play like it's your last game,
Play like it's your last season.
